Still one of the few who may order one, but as I have been looking at the promotional photos. The 2018 has gloss top and flat lower grille that looks off sometimes. But I was trying to get a closer look at how the GT/CS front looks, it looks like the GT/CS gets a different lower grille and this time it is gloss black?

It seems it catches reflections easily, so it looks as if both top and bottom are same gloss material, so it matches better along with matching pattern, but lower grille seems more solid with less openings.

The brake cooling vent looks closed like a PP car as well.

They need to drop those P-Zeros and go with some Michelin tires or something else on that car. P-Zero's are quite a bit cheaper than PS4s or other options, so I can understand why they use it.

Looks like this is most likely the Safe and Smart GT/CS lower grille (the corresponding dash photos of this car show the ACC steering wheel buttons.)

The P-Zero Neros on my 2016 GT are legit the worst tires I have ever had on any car I have ever owned.

Is the PP1 available for the CS? I'd honestly consider one if it weren't for those side scoops, they look pretty bad on the S550 IMO... I'm also not a fan of that decal on the side, but that's just my opinion of course! :)

I may not be a fan much about side scoops, but the factory version lines better with the 2 side contours vs The 2018 Roush Mustangs, which does not line up with lower section.

I still have my Zero's on the car, the A/S are so much better then the Summer ones, have been all of Europe in all weathers, and not a problem

I can live with those tires and get better ones later, I use it as a DD and mostly city driving. At least it has A/S so I can deal with cold mornings or rain once in a while.

I like how so far the 2019 have lower gloss grilles on the Bullitt and the GT/CS package. It blends better.

Just hope the final product does show this, however since this is not a PP car, they should have used the non PP functional brake vents. they look solid so far in the photos

I wanted a 2014 CS but I couldn't get the Brembo's so I had to build my own. I'm in the market for a better grille to get rid of the large shiny horse that I have now.
I like the CS grille look and will switch to it. How hard is the grille swap on the 2018 ?
